2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Financial Statements 2012: Irish Sports Council

Mr. John Treacy:

We have just started this. The vast majority of governing bodies have got it around corporate governance. From the audits we have carried out, we would be quite satisfied that many very good procedures are in place. That being said, we are now taking it to another level. What we want to do is make sure that sport leads the way around corporate governance. We are embarking on this process with them. It will probably take two to three years to ensure that all the organisations are fully signed up and can comply with the governance code for the voluntary sector.
